Hello Erik.

It is important that you have control of the information streams.

In this times and with our discussions there is forces who want to give split information.

hi,
A Russian politician voiced that the arrival of the Il-76 was made to Ukr. intel. 15 min. in advance.
15 min. ?
That seems rather ill-timed, perhaps they should have called way earlier, like when the plane filed its flight plan, or....when it was about to start its engines. But even that seems kind of short.

Still we could / should keep open the option that it was a Russian AA-unit that launched the successful attack (be it adversely). Wait and see.

do note that Ukraine has not claimed to have downed that particular Russian transport (or: not yet). BUT, as a rule, they swiftly make a claim whenever they have taken out any type of opposition asset, air, sea or ground.

So far these 6 shootdowns in the last few days that are claimed, aren’t confirmed. Some Russian sources confirm 2 Su-35’s lost, but the other four are just claims, no evidence yet.

seems to have more...

Reckon all of us here know how to find the Aviation-Safety website.
Anyway, the forementioned A-50 reportedly crashed in the Kraj Krasnodar. If it was indeed near Yeysk ( Jejsk / Ейск ) that would mean is was not near the Black Sea, but instead near to the Sea of Azov. Opposite of Mariupol.
Ейск has an airbase,
